Arguments

$SectionLabel: Unique Section Label for reference
$d: Section Depth
$bf: Flange Width
$tf: Flange Thickness
$tw: Web Thickness
$E: Elastic Modulus
$SectionDescription: Text. Optional, default = blank {}
$nu: Poisson's Ratio. Used to calulated G=($E/2/(1+$nu). Optional, default = 0.2
$J: Torsional Moment of Inertia. Optional, default = 1.e8
$WeightDensity: Linear Weight Density of section. Used to calculated element weight: ElementWeight=$WeightDensity*ElementLength. Optional, default = 0.; NOT IMPLEMENTED IN CURRENT VERSION

Notes

The addSection command must be placed at the end of each Section-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addSection command and define the Section.

Options

OpenSees Object

This SectionModel is based on the OpenSees Elastic Section
